It is optically excellent, but of course some people object to the plastic (and the price!). I cannot give you a first-hand comparison of the 21mm vs. 24mm lenses, as I have never used the 21mm. But it is supposed to be excellent as well. Your choice should be based on your style of photography. Incidentally, the 24mm finder actually covers the 21mm field if you ignore the framelines.
